"Uncle, I just heard from you that you also went to Sijiu City to look for us?"

"yes, I've been there once, but it's early."

beckoned Li Heng and Yichen to sit on the sofa in the living room, and the old man picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and handed it to each of them.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I don't smoke."

"It's good not to suck, it's good not to suck, it's easy...... Yichen, right, I've seen photos of your dad when he was a child, you look like him, exactly like him back then. Now it's like, your father and son stand together, and you can see your relationship at a glance. ”

The old man said with a smile, and after lighting the cigarette for himself with a match, he continued with a thoughtful face: "If I remember correctly, I should have gone to Sijiu City for a meeting five or six years ago, yes, it was the first month of five or six years, and I went not long after the title was conferred the year before, and I stayed there for a month, and I asked my comrades and newspapers, where were you at that time, Erheng?" Isn't it in Sijiu City? Where do you live now? ”

Five or six years in January?

This time made Li Heng calculate it for a while before he reacted, and it was also a coincidence, if this uncle had gone a month earlier, maybe he would have been able to find his father.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to say something when a voice came from outside the door.

"Fenyang, Huiping, Qingyang, Jianguo, I heard your Uncle Cao outside say that you are all back, and said that our family has come to have a distinguished guest, who is it?"

The door of the living room was open, just enough to see the courtyard door, hearing this voice, Li Heng got up from the sofa and looked out, when he saw the familiar face that although he was old, he was still properly cleaned up, his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

In his inherited memory, because his mother died early, his father had to work at the time, his brother was less than a year old, and he was only six years old, thanks to his aunt, who was only 16 years old at the time, who took care of the brothers every day.

"Jianguo, why don't you enter the house, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"Oh, Mom, it's okay."

"Qiaomei, stop screaming, let's see who this is."

The old man had already walked to the door of the living room, looked at his wife with a smile on his face, and pointed his hand back.

"Who? Who's coming? ”

In view of his father's reaction when he saw Li Heng just now, Li Fenyang gave his wife a look and walked to his mother's side, and the two of them held his mother's arm.

Although she was a little strange why her son and daughter-in-law came over to support her, Li Qiaomei didn't say anything, just followed her husband's hand and looked into the house.

This glance, as if it had spanned forty years, made her return to that era of war and chaos.

However, the old lady's mental quality is really good, although the whole body trembled slightly, but she still stood there steadily, and her eyes were super accurate, and she recognized at a glance who the person who appeared in front of her was.

"Erheng?"

"Sister-in-law, it's been forty years."

"You dead child" The old lady broke away from her son and daughter-in-law's hands, walked up to Li Heng, raised her arm and patted him twice on the chest.

"You still know forty years, where have you been all these years?"

The old lady was already in tears at this time, and she trembled and stretched out her hands to raise her head to hold the face of this nephew whom she had been thinking about for forty years, and gently rubbed it.

"I'm sorry sister-in-law, it's my nephew who has worried you for so many years."

"It has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you, it's all to blame for the damn war. Erheng, where is your dad? What about Xiaoyuan? Where are they now? Are you alright? ”

The old lady asked as she turned her head to look behind Li Heng, and when she saw Yi Chen standing behind her, her expression was obviously more excited.

"Erheng, Erheng, this is ......"

"Yichen, come and kowtow to your aunt and grandmother."

"Here Comes Dad"

"Knock", hearing his father's words, Yi Chen didn't even hesitate, took a step forward and knelt down and began to kowtow.

"Hello aunt and grandmother, my name is Li Yichen, I am your eldest nephew, I greet you on behalf of me and my younger brothers and sisters."

"Okay, good, hahaha...... Hurry up, hurry up, let my aunt and grandmother see, okay, it's good, our old Li family has a queen, and it looks the same as your father used to. ”

The old lady didn't even bother to wipe the tears on her face, and hurriedly helped Yichen up, looked at his delicate face, tall man, and said happily.

"Tell my aunt and grandmother, how old is this year, and say that I have a daughter-in-law."

"Auntie, I've just turned twenty, and I haven't graduated from college yet."

"Twenty?"

Hearing this number, the old lady was stunned for a moment: "Yichen, are you the boss?" ”

"yes, I'm the boss."

"Erheng, why do you want the child to be so late? Forty years old to have a child? Can your dad agree? ”

"I said Qiaomei, let's stop standing, sit down and talk."

"Yes, yes, I'm also confused, sit and sit, come to Yichen, sit with my aunt and grandmother, and you can sit with Erheng."

The old lady pulled Yichen and let him sit with her.

"Yichen, tell your aunt and grandmother that you still have a few younger brothers and sisters."

"Auntie, there are six younger siblings at home, and this time I came out alone with my father."

"Okay!" The old lady patted her thigh happily: "The old Li family has finally prospered again in your generation." ”

"Erheng, you did a good job, your dad may have a crooked smile, right?"

Seeing his aunt and grandmother mention his grandfather, Yi Chen looked at his father sideways, seeing that he didn't say anything else, and then said cautiously: "Auntie, my grandfather is long gone." ”

"No...... Gone? This...... This...... Erheng ......"

"Sister-in-law, it's true, my dad and Xiaoyuan are gone."

"Xiaoyuan is not here? Did it happen when we got separated? ”

"No, speaking of which, I happened to talk to my uncle just now, my uncle said that he was found when he went to Sijiu City for a meeting in January of 56, and my father and Xiaoyuan actually passed away in an accident at the end of 555."

Li Heng didn't say anything about the spies, the official report was there, if you really wanted to find it, it was actually published in the newspaper back then.

"I was still in the army at the time, and it was already March five or six years when I got the news, that is, at that time, I applied for discharge from the army and returned to the place, and I happened to miss it with my uncle."

Maybe it's because I'm old and I can see it, and after hearing that the eldest brother and another nephew have passed away in an accident, the old lady just lowered her head and wiped her tears, and then returned to normal.

Also, more than 30 years have passed since this incident, and now it is no matter how sad it is, the most common person who has come from that era of war and chaos may be to die and say goodbye, anyway, there is still a nephew here, this is a happy thing.
